SUBJECT: GUATEMALA INTERESTED IN SECURITY RESOLUTION FOR

REF: SECSTATE 113234


1. Poloffs discussed reftel points and proposed resolution
with Marco Tulio Chicas, Director for Integration at the
Foreign Ministry, on May 20. Chicas said Guatemala shared
the goals outlined in the resolution and said he would
immediately consult with Guatemala's mission to the OAS,
which he said is in the best position to discuss the details.
Chicas also pledged to raise our points with his
counterparts at a Central American Integration System (SICA)
meeting in El Salvador on May 21.


2. MFA Director General for Multilateral Affairs Carla
Rodriguez told Acting PolCouns on May 24 that she had shared
our points with Francisco Villagran, Guatemala's Ambassador
to the OAS, who plans to raise them with other Central
American missions to the OAS. Rodriguez said Villagran
expressed some uncertainty about how security issues would be
handled at the OASGA, and even whether there would be a
general resolution on security this year.


3. We suggest the Department continue to coordinate this
initiative with Guatemala's mission to the OAS.
